Outside the White House, sixty-one people were arrested Monday in a protest to mark the anniversary of the Afghan war. Protesters included longtime peace activist Elizabeth McAlister of Jonah House.

Elizabeth McAlister: “The powers of death and destruction reign, or so it seems, but they are undone. So, dear friends, let us not be awed by the mayhem with which the powers of this world will bamboozle us. Let us embrace intransigent resistance. Let us imagine a new world is possible. And then let us live as if that new world were indeed among us, and so live it into being.”
